>>Interesting....I guess I'd have to see how the screen is designed - but it sounds to me like these could all be individual views to begin with. Is there a reason you need the 'master view' at all? And even if you do, perhaps there is a way you could make the other 'subset' views really independent, and just share some of the same parameters as the 'master view' ????

Ahhh ok. In that case maybe you could have several updateable individual views, then join those together one one non-updateable view (thus giving you the totals you want...) - anytime you did a tableupdate() on individual views, just requery the view that contains all the other ones. Basically its the opposite of what you were trying.....I think...hahahaha
